You can use ICE to write the weightmap value to a per-Sample attribute and cache it to Alembic. After reading the cache back, you can again use ICE to set it on the weightmap. Unless I’m missing something obvious.

This could be an awesome thing. Model change coming through? Get the new alembic from modeling, load the rig, fix the skeleton, update your reference poses. No shapes, no gatoring weights, just kinda works ... That is, of course, if your point count/order doesn't change. This is my problem. So, is there any existing way to have a weightmap linked to an external file that could be loaded along with the alembic? (envelopes too, but I'm using weightmaps) ~T.Fox
